Vox Big Bad Wah Review

Guitar great Joe satriani is a living legend in the music world. Therefore, it is only reasonable that he would create one of the most incredibly effective and awesome wah pedals on the market today. He has done this with the Vox Satriani Big Bad Wah. Already a skilled contributor to previously successful and innovative pedals, Satriani has even topped himself with this product.

The Vox Big Bad Wah is a dual mode pedal. This means that it is not only capable of an initial wah sound effect, but a second as well. Thus the capability of this pedal to produce almost limitless wahs is quite vast. The sounds range from modern and contemporary to more 60’s or vintage styles. There is also user control and room for creativity in developing unique wahs.

The Vox brand is also known as a musical legend and expert in classic and groundbreaking. The big bad wah provides the choice for a typical Vox style wah sound also. The lowest setting Wah 1 is available on this pedal and the highest 10dB notes are possible too. These typically offer more bass type resonance and animalistic overtones. These tones can be easily transitioned between as there is Voice switch capability.
